I think it should be a woman. I'd have an all woman short-list. Just end it.

Yes. Self-evidently. Because the only other answer is there have been no women capable of being leader, and that's clearly bollocks.
-
Not only other answer. What about possibility that best women decided not to stand. E.g. 2010 Diane Abbott stood but Caroline Flint did not.
-
Yes. But one of the reasons they decided not to stand is they knew they wouldn't get the support from colleagues.
-
Precisely. And why wouldn't they?
-
Because they want to stay in with the boys.
-
Or maybe the women just weren't inspiring enough.
-
None of them. Not one, single inspiring women in over a century of Labour politics. You honestly believe that.

Labour suffers from "why wont Caroline Flint run for leadership?" syndrome.

Caroline Flint very capable MP, not leadership material I'm afraid...

Tbf, in my opinion their best candidate for both the leadership and Deputy leadership last time was a woman.

By the same token, do you think there has never been a female Labour MP good enough to lead the party?
